Forward Michael Rasmussen is out indefinitely for the Detroit Red Wings, with a lower-body injury, announced via coach Derek Lalonde on the team’s Twitter account.
Team reporter Carley Johnston reports more will be known in the coming days but a timetable is not yet known for his return.
Rasmussen, 23, has recorded 10 goals and 19 assists for 29 points in 56 games this season. The 6’6″ Canadian behemoth hasn’t produced at the NHL level at the rate one would expect from a top-10 pick, but has started to carve out a role on a Red Wings team still trying to discover its identity.
This sucks… he was hit on the knee by a Tampa Bay shot early in the first period last night. Likely a deep bruise or a break. Ugh!!! He was playing on the second line but fortunately for the Wings they have 14 legitimate NHL forwards so now here’s a chance for Vrana or Zadina to step up their game
Guys not Swedish though
27 been awesome.. he’s needed
If this guy had a mean streak he would be a beast
